Caption

An image of two granule cells (light and dark blue) connected to three mossy fibers (red, pink, and yellow) in the mouse cerebellum. Researchers discovered that granule cells selectively connect to mossy fibers, with more granule cells connecting to the same mossy fibers than was previously thought.
